Congress Awards

EJNMMI Awards

EJNMMI Awards

The EJNMMI Awards are conferred virtually on an annual basis during the EANM Annual Congress. These awards, designated for all journals within the EJNMMI Journal Family, are intended by the Editors-in-Chief to acknowledge and honour the exceptional contributions of researchers in the fields of nuclear medicine and molecular medicine.

The European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (EJNMMI), under the editorship of Professor Arturo Chiti, is a peer-reviewed hybrid journal. It primarily publishes clinically related content in the realms of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. Renowned for its highly cited and extensively downloaded articles, the journal ensures global visibility for the work of its contributors.
